Stacking the Shelves (January 3rd 2015)

Hosted by Tynga's Reviews. Stacking the Shelves is where all the book nerds can post about the lovely (or not so lovely) books that they've got this week.

Hope you guys are having a great 2015 so far! Mine didn't start so great. I woke up New Years Day to find one of the dogs with a sprained leg. As the vet was closed, we spent most of the day worrying about her. Sparky, the dog, went the the vet yesterday and it turns out that it is worse than a sprain. She popped a tendon in her knee and if she does't undergo an expensive surgery, she will never be able to fully walk on that leg again. We're going to go ahead with the surgery. We all feel like Sparky is important and we don't want her to be miserable.
Here's a picture of Sparky:
Anyway, here are all the boys I've read/ got in the past week.

P.S. The covers take you to the book's Goodreads page!



Books I've Read in the Past Week





There was a 24-hour readathon this week and I read 8 books. That's kind of why there's so many books listed this week.


From the Library



I probably shouldn't have gone to the library...

NEW DISCOVERIES
I add books to my TBR pile so often, that I decided to include the new additions to my ever-growing list.
I DID NOT RECEIVE OR BUY THESE BOOKS. I only added them to my TBR list.

The first one just sounds amazing. The second book is more of a throwback, but it's about a princess who lives in a book and must save her kingdom because the book isn't being read (something like that). And I've just heard only good things about The Book of Ivy!

I also have a giveaway running, so check that out!


Anyway, what books did you haul in this week?

Cover vs. Cover: My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga

This week's pick is...

My Heart and Other Black HolesVS.  My Heart and Other Black Holes
Original                     Redesign
I believe that the redesign is now the permanent cover, but I really like the original. I love the colors and the font of the text. I just love it all together. The new covers bores me. I like the font, but the colors are so plain AND IT'S SO OFF CENTER!!!!!!! I know, they probably changed the covers because the original looks too happy, considering the subject, but I still like it better.
Final Verdict: Original
Do you agree? Give me your thoughts on which cover is the best!
